Authoritarian Leftist "Activists" Demand The End Of Free Speech, Extensive Re-Education

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Alex Thomas bia Intellihub.com,

Hard left authoritarians at Amherst College have issued a series of demands, under the threat of civil disobedience, that include the complete end of free speech on campus as well as extensive re-education for offenders.

The demands, issued in support of the so-called uprising at the University of Missouri, read like a literal fascist manifesto and are conclusive proof that the mainstream media supported protests at multiple colleges over the last few weeks are not about racial equality but rather are about totally and completely shutting down the speech of anyone who disagrees with the opinions of the protesters.

The fact that the group is attempting to get the President of a major university to sign off on re-education classes and punishment for anyone who speaks about free speech or says all lives matter is a startling reminder of the extreme authoritarianism that runs through the veins of the college hard left.

Here are the demands. Take note of the outright fascism.

We, Students of Amherst College, refuse to accept the negative social climate created towards our peers of color and other marginalized groups. We have begun this movement, Amherst Uprising, in an effort to change the status quo for a more just and inclusive environment within our campus. We demand that Amherst become a leader in the fight to promote a better social climate towards individuals who have been systematically oppressed. Student leaders acknowledge and support the demands previously stated and currently being presented. Furthermore, we demand the College acknowledge its ethical and moral responsibilities as an institution and community of our world. Amherst College should not be complicit in oppressive organizations and systems, no less.

 

We as a compassionate student body have gathered to address the legacy of oppression on campus. If these goals are not initiated within the next 24 to 48 hours, and completed by November 18th, we will organize and respond in a radical manner, through civil disobedience. If there is a continued failure to meet our demands, it will result in an escalation of our response.

 

1.    President Martin must issue a statement of apology to students, alumni and former students, faculty, administration and staff who have been victims of several injustices including but not limited to our institutional legacy of white supremacy, colonialism, anti-black racism, anti-Latinx racism, anti-Native American racism, anti-Native/ indigenous racism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Middle Eastern racism, heterosexism, cis-sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, mental health stigma, and classism. Also include that marginalized communities and their allies should feel safe at Amherst College.

 

2.    We demand Cullen Murphy ‘74, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, to issue a statement of apology to students, alumni and former students, faculty, administration, and staff who have been victims of several injustices including but not limited to our institutional legacy of white supremacy, colonialism, anti-black racism, anti-Latinx racism, anti-Native American racism, anti-Native/ indigenous racism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Middle Eastern racism, heterosexism, cis-sexism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, mental health stigma, and classism

 

3.     Amherst College Police Department must issue a statement of protection and defense from any form of violence, threats, or retaliation of any kind resulting from this movement.

 

4.   President Martin must issue a statement of apology to faculty, staff and administrators of color as well as their allies, neither of whom were provided a safe space for them to thrive while at Amherst College.

 

5.    President Martin must issue a statement to the Amherst College community at large that states we do not tolerate the actions of student(s) who posted the “All Lives Matter” posters, and the “Free Speech” posters that stated that “in memoriam of the true victim of the Missouri Protests: Free Speech.” Also let the student body know that it was racially insensitive to the students of color on our college campus and beyond who are victim to racial harassment and death threats; alert them that Student Affairs may require them to go through the Disciplinary Process if a formal complaint is filed, and that they will be required to attend extensive training for racial and cultural competency.

 

6.     President Martin must issue a statement of support for the revision of the Honor Code to reflect a zero-tolerance policy for racial insensitivity and hate speech.

 

7.     President Martin must release a statement by Friday, November 13th, 2015 by 5:00pm that condemns the inherent racist nature of the unofficial mascot, the Lord Jeff, and circulate it to the student body, faculty, alumni, and Board of Trustees. This will be followed up by the encouraged removal of all imagery including but not limited to apparel, memorabilia, facilities, etc. for Amherst College and all of its affiliates via a phasing out process within the next year.

 

8.     Dean Epstein must ask faculty to excuse all students from all 5 College classes, work shifts, and assignments from November 12th, 2015 to November 13th, 2015 given their organization of and attendance at the Sit-In.

 

9.     Do not threaten the jobs of the faculty, staff, or administrators that support our list of demands. Such threats will result in an escalation of our response.

 

10.   The Office of Alumni and Parent Programs must send former students an email of current events on campus including a statement that Amherst College does not condone any racist or culturally insensitive reactions to this information.

 

11.   Dean Epstein must encourage faculty to provide a space for students to discuss this week’s events during class time.

 

Please acknowledge that all of these statements of apology are not the end all – that they are only a part of short-term healing and by no means achieve all of the goals we will set forth. We are in the process of finalizing long-term goals which we hope to collaborate on regularly with all members of the community.

While most of the demands are ludicrous in their own right, demand number five literally calls for punishing students who want all lives to matter and who displayed this horrific flyer on campus.

free speech flyer

There you have it. The demands of the “Amherst Uprising” include literally disciplining and then reeducating students for speaking out in support of free speech.

There is simply no middle ground here. You are either an outright fascist who wants to institute a kind of leftist thought police on college campuses or you are fighting against this.

Leftist news outlets such as Salon have spent the last week publishing article after article about how the student protests are not about censorship, claims that we now know to be transparent lies. Any organization or person that gets behind these demands must be exposed. This is not the time to play nice.

This really sounds like Mao 2.0. I've read about what it was like in China in the early years when everyone was so eager about the new communist reality there and this is EXACTLY the way people were acting.  Only one more step to the cultural revolution.

Except that not everyone is so eager for the shitshow that we're living today. We are divided and the Social Justice Warriors picked the side that doesn't like guns.

 

Political power grows from the barrel of a gun.

~Chairman Mao

 

I do believe that the Chairman understood political power very well.  And that is one of many reasons that I believe in an armed populace, which we do have.

 

Oh, and if you want to see the Social Justice Warriors having a conniption, look at #SyrianRefugees on twatter.  Over half the governors in the US have stated that they don't want to take on the Syrian refugees.  This is going to be a massive clusterfuck.

Simple solution. Captians of industry boycott the University. If the head of school supports the movement, conside it a red brigade training camp. Immature do-gooders and clueless rebels with little idea of the real world. Let's recap, they don't tolerate discrimination but target those not in their list of plantiffs. Let me guess they want: too lazy to want to explain themselves, not be answerable nor work for their demands. If only life was that easy. May they demonstrate their civil disobediance and held accountable for somebodies misfortune.

Amherst is a state college...actually a university.
That means that these students are receiving a taxpayer subsidized education.
I would suggest they concentrate on their studies and quit getting high and coming up with stupid ideas.

I guarantee that these twits are no majoring in hard sciences.
These are liberal arts students who aren't exactly preparing themselves for adulthood.

They can 'consider' themselves anything, does not make it true.  From the article you linked to:

"Freedom of speech is the principle that all human beings have a right to express themselves without facing violence, intimidation or imprisonment. That’s it. That’s all."

Now, they factually called for the abrogation of the free speech of others on an institutional basis.  Screw them and anyone who supports their Authoritarianism.

The left and right thing is mostly nonsense, but if it is to have meaning then the left means "government knows best" (socialism/communism), and the right is personal liberty (libertarianism, free markets, at the extreme anarchy). 

Fascism relies on the government controlling everything so must be the left, just because they are nationalistic mean much.

It's like the slave master telling his slave that he can be free if becomes the house negro. Once a democrat always a democrat. Always want to be the slave master...no matter what the race!!!

Somebody needs to step up to these little sucky-baby-bastards and put a boot up their goddamn asses real hard and real deep, and send them back to Mommy & Daddy, with a "Do Not Return' note stuffed in their mouths.

Or there is gonna be real trouble if we keep allowing them this power.

Caught a movie years ago, that really summed up all this initial 60's leftist bullshit and is well worth watching

Growing up in America
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ONemV4ztAk

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093121/

It combines footage of all the major 60's leftist leaders from the 60's, flakes like O'Leary, Ginsberg, Hoffman and other old farts commenting while they watch video of themselves from the 60's, now 25 years later.

One scene, has one of the burnouts is laughing his ass off at himself, 25 years earlier.

A telling sign of the stupidity of these little SOB's. It was the same shit they were spouting, but now, these pricks are getting away with it.

We need to put a stop to this crap right now, because this generation is way, WAY more dangereous than their forefathers, years ago.

Check out some of the SJWs on instagram/twitter/etc. There's some serious Poe's law in effect there.

Sadly, it's legit. No critical thinking skills and the people are out of their goddamn minds.

If I were an average white male at Amherst, one, I wouldn't be there, and two, if I were and got assigned "re-education" why the fuck wouldn't I just transfer out to another school and get away from the crazies' punishment? Do they imagine they're going to compel the cops to grab fellow students to force them into these "re-education" classes?

The mind boggles. As soon as they try to take their ideas off-campus in any sane area, it's going to go over as well as when the sharia law muslims tring to enforce a drinking ban at bars on mainstreet USA.

These are exactly the "Millenials" that the thinktanks have created and are grooming to hand over the reins to soon.  As Generation X has been almost entirely excluded from positions of authority despite reaching middle age, we are going to go directly from a State overtly run by elitist "Baby Boomers" to a State run by elitist 30-35 year old "Millenials".  At least that's the plan.

Should be interesting.

Sometime in 1965 Affirmative Action was initiated. In all these decades since then I have seen the court cases from whites pushed aside to give minorities a place in university admission ahead of more qualified whites. I have seen police and firefighter examinations revised again and again because minorities cannot attain scores high enough to allow for more senior promotions.  I have seen the military change requirements to more equally integrate the branches.  I have seen Section 8's drive their Cadillac Escalades down to social services to register a new child to a fatherless family to get higher public assistance.  Worse has been the LA riots and Ferguson's riots where hard working shop keepers lose their stores to the smash N crash arsonists.  So in these 50 years that we have given special rights to the minorities to move up and ahead of us other taxpayers, JUST WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED?  This crap on American universities.

It seems that some of these folks are not much interested in an education.  Some of the faculty don't seem much inclined to teach either.  Could you not just expell folks who are not interested and fire the teachers similarly not interested.  They could then make better use of their time protesting elsewhere and let the kids interested in an education get one.

One might reasonably argue that since blacks in the US consume more than they produce, and that as a consequence of affirmative action there is an over employment of blacks in government jobs relative to their skills, and likewise an overrepresentation of blacks in universities relative to their demonstrated ability, that the country is awash with black privilege.

When will it get plastered up all over one of these totalitarianist leaning campuses that the only meaningful source of racism emminates directly from the State and always has. All else,from the individual, is opinion, discernment, and discretion on the part of the individual.Wrong/right/good/bad/unjust/biased doesn't matter.  Its called being a "human being"! (Crime is Crime though) Consider the modern premise. "Black,native,Hispanic man, you happen to look like a person who was once wronged." "White man  you happen to look like the ones who once wronged these minority decendants... You and your progeny will pay indefinitely to the benifit of these minorities." < is racism, along with unequal protection under the law. You wanna go to jail for 10 years just drop an N bomb during a fist fight with a minority.

When I was young college was beer and panty raids. Later it became beer and protest against the stupid Vietnam war. Then faux feminism and gay rights. Now it's something else. These college kids. They'll suffer for the rest of their lives paying off those college loans. Cut them some slack.

On the other hand, that fascist nasti who wrote the article has got your panties all in a bunch. Relax! There's enough things to whine and moan about in the world without getting all het up over some college kids. You were them once; they'll be like you soon enough.

The author is simply relating what is a wider and growing problem. We are drifting towards totalitarianism that's being driven by psychopathic nutters with an agenda.

Free speech, free thought, thought police are all targets and in some ways are already with us. LE in some countries already have the powers to arrest someone, not for what they have done, but for what they might do, according go them.

Dissent is becoming outlawed.

WTF is this author talking about? College campuses are the perfect place to "institute a kind of leftist thought police." In the American "higher education" system, thought control is the name of the game... or at least that's what I endured in order to graduate from an AAU member university. The indoctrination didn't take very well with me, but hell if those bastards didn't try.

Punk means thinking for yourself
You ain't hardcore cos you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head 

Nazi punks

Nazi punks-Fuck Off! 

Nazi punks

If you've come to fight, get outa here
You ain't no better than the bouncers
We ain't trying to be police
When you ape the cops it ain't anarchy 

[Repeat chorus]

Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you've got real balls 

You still think swastikas look cool
The real nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go 

[Repeat chorus]

You'll be the first to go

We march towards collective social madness...

In the UK since the days of another psychopathic fascist, HRH Tony Blair, anybody can be arrested and prosecuted if they are overheard in public saying anything which can be construed as supporting terrorism.

So if you have a conversation in a bar with a friend and you happen to say "I can understand why these jihadists commit acts of terror...blah.blah.blah", that can be construed as supporting terrorism. Arrest and prosecution can follow.

Totalitarian Fascism has been around for hundreds of years, it just had different names or didn't have a name.

Anybody who does not agree with the official view is at risk. Again, in the UK, the mad hatter Theresa May is to outlaw NVEs (Non-Violent Terrorists) for speaking out. This is reckoned to be aimed at bloggers.

A new Dark Age is upon us.

We are witnessing only that which that old ancient and USELESS text, known as the word of God, the Scripture, or outdated manuscript with fairy tales said would happen to any people or nation that if willfully ignorant.  In it, it states the following and a testimony to everyone with an ounce of understanding AND it is but one of several such forewarnings:

 

"And because (THE REASON WE SEE WHAT WE SEE AROUND THE GLOBE AND IN OUR NATION) they did not think it worthwhile to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them over (yep the Magic man in the sky has left the house) to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong. (Please magic-man; tell us what this looks like in people) They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, disputes, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful"... 

 

BTW - that was the third and final step, the previous ones describe the sexual immorality followed by the homosexual immorality..it is the natural progression of those nations and societies that once embraced the Biblical standards of morality and turned aside to their own devices, which is why we are where we are and this pattern get much worse or "we ain't seen nothing yet.

 

But what could be closer to the truth of what we see in our own lives, our children, our marriages, our society, our nation and the entire world??!!!

 

By way of reminder:

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ---The founders understood, unanimously, that we have a Creator, an intelligent being with great Authority.

 

By way of reminder: Do you recognize the lyrics of this song?  Most of us do not and for good reason.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Dear Nit-wit students,

We, the intelligent white people of America who survived college or never attended, DEMAND that youstop wasting everybody's time and get back to studying, partying and fucking, like normal 18-22 year-olds.

If these demands are not met, we, your elders, will descend upon your college and take up your courses, your parties and your fucking, and, believe me, you don't want to witness that.

So, back off, jerk-offs, or risk having to watch old people fuck.

The Mizzou agitator's background makes it clear the campus B/S is being orchestrated from higher up.

College presidents must resign and then of course will need to be replaced... with more sympathetic, hand picked leaders for the new radical training camps.

Yes, you too can pursue a career in racism as you can see in the details of this Ithaca college program.

"Our Program

Citizenship and Service in the Global Community

The Martin Luther King Scholar Program is a dynamic learning community, developing future leaders and global citizens who are committed to promoting King’s legacy of social justice and equality in their personal and professional lives, engaging in public services, building bridges to other communities, and educating others with their international perspective.

Open to academically talented U.S. citizens and permanent residents from ethnic and racial backgrounds that have been historically underrepresented in U.S. higher education, the program challenges students to think critically, act compassionately, and give back to the world through service learning and scholarly research.

As an MLK scholar, you will... 


  • Pursue social justice research and explore social justice policies during one domestic and three international trips.

  • Participate in scholarly seminars and interact with distinguished visitors and leading social justice experts.

  • Make a difference locally, nationally, and globally through service projects and research.

  • Gain leadership experience and the perspective you need to continue making positive change—no matter what your career path.

  • Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 and create a leadership portfolio you will contribute to each semester.

  • Receive up to full tuition in aid, with a minimum merit-based scholarship of $25,000"

I wish the President of Amherst College would go to the faculty and to the trustees with a Declaration of freedoms and ideals and seek their signatures to such a declaration which would indicate their support for such freedoms and ideals. I wish that this declaration would draw from the great documents from OUR American history the words that would specify what those freedoms and ideals should be. Our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and speeches made by Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and John F. Kennedy immediately come to mind. I wish that, after a decent period of open debate within the forums of faculty and administration, that the declaration would be approved and signed off by a veto-proof majority of the members of those bodies.

Then the student body should be given a choice: either agree with those freedoms and ideals and agree to abide by them, or face dismissal from the College. They will be free to seek their ideals for "educations" and to seek whatever apologies they deem to be in order elsewhere. Further, every applicant for enrollment at the college now and in the future should be required to sign off on this declaration if they want their application for enrollment to be considered.

I wish that every institution of higher learning would come up with its own version of this declaration and would enforce it in the same way. This way, those who seek to be part of a uniform anti-whatever institution with mandated thought processes and uniform world views, would be able to identify those institutions which suit them. Likewise, those who hold in high regard free speech and the open contest of ideas would also know which intitutions subscribe to the same.

Where do these articles come from? Can you imagine if college campuses could not demonstrate in the 60's during the Vietnam war. The War would probably be still going. Free speech is a necessity if we are to live in a free society. Forsaking free speech for security will erode your freedom and will make you a slave to the elite. This is all about control and how the U.S. is no longer the controler so to change this up they need to make you feel unsafe. Playbook one from Herman Goering; '"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."

I'm talking about the progressive staff, "thought leaders", "educators", and "social justice warrior" over-class. In a few years, a lot of these students that fell prey to their siren song of injustice are going to regret ever getting involved with any of these groups, but that can be considered part of growing up. The students will have no choice but to grow up as there are only a few coveted spots open at these universities to ensconce themselves in for the remainder of their years. The former will always be there, unhappy as ever, because they have never, or will ever, grow up.

President 'Biddy' Martin meets with activists, declines to apologize, but sympathizes.

Also she pours out some "sugar" for the "kids".

These kinds of "race hustle" (and "sexual orientation hustle") shakedowns happen periodically in the "5 college area".  It is a cottage industry.

This is why the university I attended will never see a cent from me, despite annual requests.

"We as a compassionate student body have gathered to address the legacy of oppression on campus. If these goals are not initiated within the next 24 to 48 hours, and completed by November 18th, we will organize and respond in a radical manner, through civil disobedience."

 

These are not compassionate people.

Amherst college should expel all of them.

5.    President Martin must issue a statement to the Amherst College community at large that states we do not tolerate the actions of student(s) who posted the “All Lives Matter” posters

 

 

INTOLERANCE

 

Amherst College must stand up against this leftist intolerance.

What would be great is if the real students sued the 11, individually, for tortious interference with prospective advantage.  Could be styled as a class action.  The 11 lunatics are interfering with the other students' tuition contract with the school in which they bargained for an education.  If Amherst has cancelled classes or normal students are interfered from getting to class, they should have a case.  Then, in discovery, one or 2 of the 11 will crack and we'll find out if Soros, the Communist Party USA or who is behind the coordinated demonstrations and how they are getting compensated.

Let me explain again about free speech.  The first amendment means that THE GOVERNMENT cannot restrain your speech, but for certain very narrow exceptions.  A private organization can set any rules it likes.  If Amherst decides to implement these silly rules, that is silly, and they would be foolish to do it, but it's their right to do so, and if you don't like it, go get an education somewhere else.  

 

If I have an organization, I'm keeping out the neo-Nazis.  Hell, I've actuallly had to do that before, which is sad.  You are a Daily Stormer type?  Fuck off and leave my private organization.  A private organization can set its own rules for membership and limit (or not limit) speech any way it wants.

Amherst isn't "private" in this sense, and the Bill of Rights is not nullified by "private organizations".  This idea that private organizations can do anything they want is simply not true.  Now go bake that gay wedding cake.  Make it sparkle, make it fierce.

Wasted, almost right.  If the organization is stand-alone, then you are closer to the truth.  However, once the organization sips at the .gov trough, then other restrictions and obligations (such as baking a wedding cake) pollute your good point.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.  Zero fucks about what some college does halfway across the country from me.
